Many people don't actually know what the Renaissance is or how it got started. So before I get in to the scientific advances and technology I will fill you in a little. If you didn't know the word "Renaissance" literally means "rebirth". So basically the renaissance was the rebirth of learning and technology. The renaissance started in Florence, Italy in the fourteenth century (1500-1750). After the Black Death that killed a third of the population, people decided to live there life in a new way. They became secular and started focusing on education. They built new technology like the printing press and other things I will discuss.
